I missed out on the nekkid Ohno AnAn ... :/ ... but I too have to be careful with what I buy ... personal bias showing here ... yes I do have rather a lot of mags that feature Ohno, then I go for the Non-No with OhMiya in it ... and sometimes any of the others ... I've bought a few of the Aiba M-Girls, as the nice thing with those apart from the visual feast is that the interviews are translated too. In spite of the Ohno bias ... I seem to have a good spectrum of all the members for one reason or another.

The biggest of which is that I am shallow and cannot resist the pretty.

I am trying to improve my ear for the language and will watch anything that is going that is on (for an unbirthday present several years ago... hubby subscribed to NHK for us) And in spit of being unsubbed, I watch it a lot. The thing with subs is that I feel I miss out on the visual as I'm reading subs as well as watching something, but it does give me an excuse for watching something several times over. I remember I watched all of Maou raw and was quite pleased that I could follow it. But Last Hope loses me a little because ... I guess I'm not up on my medical terminology.

Thank you for sharing this, it is an interesting look at the magazine industry. I recall I did say in some post previously ... any mag looking to boost it's sales regularly put Arashi (either in part or in their entirety) on their front covers. Heheheh!

And definitely I'd oggle a near nekkid Ohno over a Jun one. ^__^ Sorry Jun.
